HYDROPHOBlA,
A Planter Mangles His Wife and Mother
With His Teeth While in Its Delerium.

LITTLE Rock, ARK, Aug. 9.-Yesterday
morning Milton Cox, a respectable and
well-to-do planter living south Of here,
left the breakfast-table saying he felt ILL.,
and was followed to the yard by his wife
and mother. He then began to initiate the
antics Of dog-jumping, barking and
bowling. Springng at his wife he
knocked her down, bit her with his
teeth and lacerated her dreadful
ly. His mother, attempting to protect the
wife, was then set on and bitten on the
arms and shoulders. She is advanced in
years, and the assaults on both are likely
to prove fatal. The men who finally over
powered Cox were also bitten, and he was
placed in the insane asylum last night. 1t
is stated he was bitten by dog nearly a
year ago, and is now suffering from hydro
phobia.

IN THE FRlGlD ZONE.
Instructive Details of Visit In a Whaler T.
Snitzbergpn,


Spitzbergen.
At meeting of the Berlin Geologi- |
cal Society Dr. Kuckenthal gave some
interesting details of a visit on a
whaler, the Hvidfisken, to Spitzbergen.
The surface of the sea was often thick
Iy covered with dirty green one-celled
algH. in which lived a small rod crab,
hunted by the fish as they wander from
north to south. Arriving on the 18th
of June at Spitzbergen, the fantastic
forms of the snow-covered mountains
in the magically red light of the mid
night sun formed an enchanting con-
trast to the pure green sky, TINT
caused by the reflection of the ice,
Excursions to the interior proved that
it consisted of one immense icy desert,
but that it had long ages ago been
scene of great fertility, for there were
found numerous petrifactions, extern
sive beds of coal, etc. Where on the
coast or among the hills, which are
about five hundred to one thousand five
huudred feet high, there are now only
some MOSES, grasses or other poor lit
tie plants during the short summer
the palm once grew in abundance
| The bare coast mountains are gcologi-
cally remarkable. The steep preci-
pices, like gigantic terraces, which
frame in Advent Bay, continue in the
same form to about one thousand feet
below the surface of the water. The
east part of the island is entirely
blocked up by ice and is inaccessible,
but the extreme sideward currents OF
the Gulf Stream in the west some times
allow of a free approach, while in tho
north the sea is frequently free o
ice in consequence of the north wind
| Last century the ships of all ma
| tons repaired to Spitzbergen to fish
now that business is reduced to abou
thirty Norwegian boats. Among thcs
the so-called "rat-cages' play the par
of parahs, for they take every thin;

GREEK FIRE,
Young Catholic Priest Said to Have Re-
discovered Its Properties.


TUscoLA, ILL.,, Aug. l9.--The young Cath
olic priest and scientist, of Charleston, ILL.,,
who was recently created Lieutenant in
the French army for valuable discoveries
in the art of making and using powerful
explosive for war purposes, claims to
have made still more valuable discov-
cry, or rediscovery. He says he has
by continued tests and experiments
fathoned the art of making Greek
fire, which was lost in the dark ages,
about the year 1850 when gunpowder
came into something like general use, and
he is Of the opinion that the discovery is
quite an achievement for science. The
compound consists of naptha and two
other ingredients, and its powers of de-
struction are something marvellous. 1t
will so corrode tin as to dissolve it, while
water, instead Of extinguishing it, will
only inc 'ase its destructive powers, The
inventor gill soon give the press an article
on the subject Of hs great discovery.
